The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed.
METHOD AND SYSTEM TO CONFIGURE ONE OR MORE SERVICES AVAILABLE ON SERVICE PLATFORM
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to service configuration systems. More particularly, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to method and system for configuration of one or more services available on at least one service platform based on requirement of one or more users.
BACKGROUND
[0002] The following description of the related art is intended to provide background information pertaining to the field of the disclosure. This section may include certain aspects of the art that may be related to various features of the present disclosure. However, it should be appreciated that this section is used only to enhance the understanding of the reader with respect to the present disclosure, and not as admissions of the prior art.
[0003] As is generally known, the rapid advancement in communication technology has allowed users to efficiently manage time by executing a certain number of tasks with the help of a “communication device”. For example, a user using his communication device can perform tasks like management of business or enterprise, purchase of one or more products and services, sell of one or more products and services and the like. Further to ease the task of user (may be a vendor or a customer) in selling the products, various entities are developing the products like subscription-based platform or subscription engine which act as a middle-end for the selling platform (e.g., electronic commerce) where all the monitoring and management related tasks can be performed in an efficient manner to optimise the sell and purchase of subscriptions.
[0004] Also, in today’s interconnected world, the vendors across various industries face challenges in efficiently configuring and manging one or more products or one or more services. For instance, in the field of healthcare and Internet of Things (IoT), the need for specialized solutions poses a barrier for vendors trying to expand their operations in both the sectors. Several solutions were introduced to mitigate this issue, however, the conventionally available subscription-based engine or platforms only allow the users (e.g., vendors) to sale services or plans or products in a fixed manner without any option of configuration and thus cannot be customised basis the requirement of the vendors. This leads to a restriction in the scalability of the one or more services or plans. Therefore, the lack of a unified system for configuring and managing diverse offerings hamper interoperability and increases operational overhead for the vendors.
[0005] Thus, there exists an imperative need in the art to allow the users (e.g., vendors) to configure the one or more services or one or more plans as per the requirement, which the present disclosure aims to address.
OBJECTS OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0006] Some of the objects of the present disclosure, which at least one embodiment disclosed herein satisfies are listed herein below.
[0007] It is an object of the present disclosure to provide a system and a method to configure one or more services such as products, plans, offerings, items, and assets.
[0008] It is another object of the present disclosure to provide a solution that allow the vendors to configure the one or more plans as per the requirement of the vendors and consumers.
[0009] It is another object of the present disclosure to provide a unified solution to configure the one or more services, thereby eliminates the need for multiple systems.
[0010] It is another object of the present disclosure to provide a method and system that streamlines the management and configuration of the one or more services, thereby making it easier for the user to control and maintain their setups.
[0011] It is another object of the present disclosure to provide a method and system that offers data insights for vendors.

20
[0041] As discussed in the background section, in today’s interconnected world, the vendors across various industries face challenges in efficiently configuring and manging one or more products or one or more services. For instance, in the field of healthcare and Internet of Things (IoT), the need for specialized solutions poses a
25 barrier for vendors trying to expand their operations in both the sectors. Though,
several solutions were introduced to mitigate this issue, however, the conventionally available subscription-based engine or platforms only allow the users (e.g., vendors) to sale services or plans or products in a fixed manner without any option of configuration and thus cannot be customised basis the requirement of
30 the vendors. This leads to a restriction in the scalability of the one or more services
or plans. Therefore, the lack of a unified system for configuring and managing
11
diverse offerings hamper interoperability and increases operational overhead for the vendors.
[0042] The present disclosure aims to overcome the above-mentioned and other
5 existing problems in this field of technology by providing an efficient way of
configuring the one or more services or plans based on the requirement of the vendors. This is achieved by receiving one or more login credentials of at least one entity to access at least one service platform. Thereafter, a set of input data is received from the at least one entity to configure the one or more services available
10 on the at least one service platform. Also, prior to receiving of the input parameter
a verification is done on the at least one entity based on the one or more login credentials. Further, the one or more configured services are displayed to one or more users on the at least one service platform. Thereafter, the one or more users are allowed to subscribe to the one or more configured services at the at least one
15 service platform.
[0043] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0077] For instance, the configured one or more services are displayed onto the
5 display unit [106] and further with the help of the dashboard, the set of output data
(such as purchase or subscription of one or more services) are displayed onto the
display unit [106] in pre-defined time interval. Also, the purchase and subscription
of the one or more services purchased and the pattern of subscription in the defined
time interval is based on the response of the one or more users on the one or more
10 configured services.
[0078] The present disclosure encompasses that the method [200] further comprising displaying, by the display unit [106], at least one error to the one or more users in an event the information required by the at least one entity is not received.
15 [0079] At step [210], the method [200] as disclosed by the present disclosure
comprises allowing, by the processing unit [104], the one or more users to subscribe to the one or more configured services at the at least one service platform.
[0080] The present disclosure encompasses that the method [200] further comprises
monitoring, by a monitoring unit [110], a response of the one or more users on the
20 one or more configured services. For example, the method [200] include monitoring
to observe or track one or more actions or one or more responses of the one or more users that are interacting with the one or more configured services.
[0081] The method [200] terminates at step [212]. 25
[0082] Referring to FIG. 3, another exemplary flow diagram of a method [300] to configure one or more service available on at least one service platform in
20
accordance with exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. The method [300] may be implemented by the system [100].
[0083] At step S1, a vendor provides one or more login credentials. At step S2, one
5 or more services (i.e., one or more plans) are configured by the vendor depending
upon one or more requirements. Further at step S3, the configured one or more services are available to one or more users (i.e., customers) on a marketplace to subscribe.
[0084] For instance, the present disclosure provides a method and system to deliver
10 a common platform where different kinds of vendors can configure different kinds
of products. For instance, in a health care product, vendor may define a plan to sell healthcare services (connected ambulance) but for an IOT product, vendor may sell devices along with various services like Decentralized Know Your Customer KYC (DKYC), etc.
15 [0085] For another instance, the present disclosure provides a single platform
having everything configurable with a user interface [102]. Thus, the platform does not only customize different kinds of products but also capable of performing a large amount of analysis. With the help of present disclosure, the vendor does not need to switch to other systems depending upon the product. Further, the solution
20 as provided in the present disclosure may also help to calculate the taxes thereby
reducing the task of the vendors. Since different types of vendors have a different view, the system [100] is secure to provide access to the target vendor to only view his products. The present disclosure also allows the vendor to create or add a new member who can have access to the modules depending on the role. The present
25 disclosure also captures the company details of the vendor in the same portal which
can be edited or changed by the admin only. Further, the present system [100] or portal helps in analysing the configured product to determine the demand of the configured product in a particular time interval and location where the product is in
21
demand. The also maintains the accounts of the subscribers who bought those products.
[0086] The present disclosure provides the vendor an option of customising the
plan on marketplace. The present disclosure also allows the option of performing
5 one or more Decentralized KYC (DKYC) details. The present disclosure also
displays a product category so that if a customer selects a particular category, products belonging to those categories are visible to subscribe. The category selected may be customized. The present disclosure also allows the customisation of the billing details of the plan as per the requirement. For instance, an amount
10 may be collected in the Account Code field which defines the account number.
Further, various add-ons or items can be added to the product and can be charged separately. Moreover, depending on the usage of the product/plan a customer can be charged. Also, free trails can be added if required and accordingly the billing details may be captured (optional). In addition, there are certain products that
15 require installation; thus, set-up fees can be charged and can be sent to the account
number mentioned or can be skipped. In the platform, each product may have a customizable set of notifications sent to the customer. This set of rules can be modified as per requirement. Further, the custom parameters can be attached to the product. if required. These parameters can be a read only data for user or some data
20 that the user has to input. The present disclosure also provides the custom error pop-
ups if a threshold is reached, or some mandatory parameter is not filled or if the asked data is not according to the vendor requirement.
[0087] For another instance, the method [200] and system [100] to configure one or more service may be implemented by any organization where one or more
25 vendors may configure different kind of products. For achieving this, each product
is created by using a unique product code, a logo or one or more banner images. Further, a category is selected for every product such as one or more products falling in entertainment, and one or more products falling in IoT etc. Thereafter, a billing amount is entered and a time period for which the bill is to be collected is entered.
30 Also, a term of the plan may be selected. Additionally, one or more add-ons may be
22
grouped to a product and this add-on may be charged separately or this add-on may
be removed also. For example, a news service may be added to a music plan. Further
one or more items may be added to a plan and charge separately. The difference
between an item and add-on is item may be added to one or more products whereas
5 an add on can be respective to a plan. For example, an ambulance service may be
attached to a healthcare plan as well as fire brigade plan. The one or more items have one or more separate modules, and the one or more items may be created, updated and deleted also, the one or more items may be disabled if it is no longer in use.
10 [0088] Additionally, the plan (i.e., service) may be charged based on the usage of
the customer via one or more measured units. Also, one or more free trial plans (as one or more services) in pre-defined intervals are be configured. Further a set-up fees may be added if the service requires installation. In addition to this, the plans/products/services may be created and notified to the one or more vendors.
15 The one or more stages in which the notifications are to be sent is to the one or more
vendors may be configured (added or removed) also.
[0089] Further, one or more custom parameters may be added to the one or more
services. For instance, if the vendor wants the customer to know some detail, he can
add to the plan. If the vendor wants a certain data from the customer, the vendor
20 may add the custom parameter such as age, gender, area. Furthermore, taxes and
one or more terms and conditions may be added to the one or more service which may be inclusive or exclusive via the processing unit [104].
